Hi,

Could you please say why SYSIN data in a JCL is not shown on JESJCL job output?

If it was there life would be simpler.

no reason to be upset
JES is responsible for JES and JCL statements
each application is responsible for it' s own data

so it' s up to each application to decide what and how data should be printed

for JES is a cooperative effort between jes/converter/interpreter/initiator
and that' s what ( for example ) the JCL MSGLEVEL is about

Think about it ...

What if the data present in SYSIN contained something like a logon id and password (like in an FTP step). Would YOU want those details displayed to the whole world?

Try the INPUT ON option in SDSF.
If you are authorized, you will see your input files when using the '?' action character

Hello,

While in sdsf, enter SJ to the left of the job and you will see the submitted jcl including instream data.

Which can be very handy for submitting the same basic job multiple times with minor revisions. . .

In my site, there is an option called 'Change include SYSIN to ON' which can be found in SDSF's action bar-->OPTIONS-->No.3

After that, I will be able to see the SYSIN part in the SDSF(JES) log.

Try this in your site and good luck!

In addition to SJ (submitted job in edit mode), try SE (entire listing in edit mode), either on the entier job or selected parts.

E.g., this lets you use edit commands like X (exclude) and FLIP to see just certain lines.

Maybe I should have added to type it in the "COMMAND INPUT ===>" line.

Try INPUT ON and INPUT OFF. Each time look at the option in the action bar.
You will see 'Change include SYSIN to OFF' or 'Change include SYSIN to ON' respectively.
Which means it's the same thing.

No problem.
Most, if not all, of the options in any action bar have a corresponding command.
